Hi guys,
I managed to win a mint condition C128D off eBay. The thing looks like it is almost brand new, whoever owned it looked after it like a baby. It came with the manuals, disks plus some extra floppies and cartridges.
However, I have a problem. The RF out works perfectly. I have a C64 video-composite cable that only seems to produce monocrome images and when used on the C128D it produces rock-steady monocrome images in C128 and C64 mode.
I have a C64-S-video cable which I've used successfully with my C64C (until I got the Chameleon and used the VGA out) and I get this:
C128 Mode: Distortion at the top of the screen. Image moved to the left.
C64 Mode: Perfect!
Does anybody know what might be causing this? Does the C128 not like the s-video cable? Is there something wrong with a chip?
The workaround is to simply use the RF output when using C128 mode, but it is annoying.
Also, is there anything that takes the RGBi of the C128/C128D and allows it to be connected to a VGA port? I wouldn't mind being able to access 80 column mode.
Thanks in advance.
